What value divided by 36 equals 72?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 36 and the quotient 72?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 36 × 72 = 2592

To prove this, let's compute 2592 divided by 36: 2592 36 = 72

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 36 gives a result of 72 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 36 = 72

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 36: 36 x 36 = 36 × 72
  2. 36 x 36 is equivalent to 36 36 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 36 × 72 = 2592

So, if the divisor is 36 and the quotient is 72, the dividend is 2592.
